Hi, is there any way to enable verbose logging for cloud-init during the boot process to see what sections have actually been executed (passed

if

statements) from files in

/system/oem

and

/usr/local/cloud-config

and in what order?

You can export

LOGLEVEL=debug

to see xtra debugging for yip

I'm playing with the Alpine flavor so I wonder if the journal is preserved when switched from systemd in initrd to openrc init system on the real root. Even if so, it might be a challenge to explore journald logs on Alpine.

You can export

LOGLEVEL=debug

to see xtra debugging for yip

Where do you mean to export it?

mmmh, I dont know how the alpine runs the cos-setup-X services which are the ones running the cloud-configs stored in the system

I guess there is no straightforward way for doing this for

initramfs

and

rootfs

stages (

cos-setup-initramfs

and

cos-setup-rootfs

systemd services) which are executed in initrd. So initrd needs to be rebuilt to pass custom env vars to these units

well, elemental uses the yip lib underneath to run the cloud-config stuff, so that is itws own thing
